Thanks a bunch!

Hey K,

you're doing great! You are soooo close to reaching your situp goal and that's great! The scale will be kind to you!

Go Raiders!

Yes you were right! The scale was VERY kind to me this morning. I've been nervous all week that I've been working for nothing but alas... 5.5 pounds of me are gone forever!!! I'm so excited I can hardly stand it! 196 pounds. I hope I can lose just as much in the next two weeks. It'd be nice to be down 15 pounds before school starts but I will not get my hopes up, especially since mother nature's knocking on my door some time next week. But yeah....7.5 pounds lighter! Yippee!!!

Nice job on your loss. I just love how you're killing those sit ups. How is your hubby doing on his end ??

GREAT JOB!!! That's so exciting!

Hubby is doing well. His trainer has been really workin' him hard. We've been to the gym for 2 weeks now and I can't wait to see his results on Tuesday. Sadly no one has a scale that goes up that high so we have to go to a GNC in the mall. Kind of nerve-racking to have to weigh yourself in public but you gotta do what you gotta do. He weighed in at 494 pounds and 8 ounces on Tuesday July 25th. I'm hoping that he's down at least 10 pounds. Big guys usually drop weight a lot faster so I'm kindof hoping for more than that. But we'll see.

Hmmm...if every 10 pounds is a dress size...I must be close to moving down soon!! I actually can't wait for my tummy to shrink a little more so that my skirts don't bulge so much around the middle. I see a little (very little) difference but if I keep at it with these sit-ups my gut will be shrinking more and more each day!!!

I'm just so excited! Usually when I do a feeble attempt at a diet I get stuck at 197 pounds and then give up....two weeks into this routine and I'm past my usual rut!! I just want to go exercise and burn off more and more!!

*elated*

Glad to hear you're so enthusiastic!! Hope your hubby's weigh in goes well. It's good to see he's working so hard!! You two must make a great team!

The Dynamic Duo!

John actually mentioned to me that a couple people have been giving him encouraging words while he's working out. It's nice to see that not all people stare and make fun of the obese.

That's so great!!! It really is good to know that there are people encouraging him. He's very brave to want to go into a gym and work out!

Well, today's workout went well. I did 1.25 miles on the treadmill so I'll meet my goal of 8 miles this week. Next week I'm going to shake things up and ride the bike instead. (I think I've said that already) I squished my 500 sit-up goal and have now done 530. Tomorrow I'll do 110 more and reset the ticker...or maybe I'll do like a month goal. I don't know.

I'm going to the pet store tomorrow to see if we can adopt a cute doggie from a shelter. I hope I get the one I've been lookin' at. Her name is Sheba and she's the cutest little thing!!

Im eager to hear how your husbands weigh in has gone. Tell him he outta come on here and start some of the challenges - he outta loose more and win most lol. I can see the 2lb a week challenge will be right up his ally haha

wow. sounds like you've been doing great with your exercises.

awwwh. a doggie?!?! awwwh. what kinda doggie is she? heh. if you do get her, you gotta post pictures!

yes! yes pictures!

I hope you get the doggie!! I love my puppy!! He is the best! Without him I would never walk!!

Have a great weekend!
